Garibaldi’s men in Greece

17 May 1897, Domokos in the Greek region of Thessaly: Garibaldi’s men fighting alongside the Greeks.

During the Greco-Turkish war, the Greek army suffered a heavy defeat only partly redeemed by the bravery of the Italian volunteers in their red shirts who rushed to the aid of the Greeks. A significant example of Garibaldi’s internationalism in support of freedom of the people.
